RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
[ja_JP] [RHSM Firstboot] Subscription list is blank in Confirm Subscriptions page of Firstboot
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
subscription-manager-firstboot-0.99.19-1.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install latest RHEL6.3 Server build (RC-2/RHEL6.3-20120531.0).
2. Go to first boot page or run # firstboot --reconfig on a terminal.
3. Register System using RHN account and password, but Do not select 'Skip automatic subscription selection for this system' option and click Forward.
Actual results:
Subscription list is blank in Confirm Subscriptions page of Firstboot.
Expected results:
The subscriptions should be listed under Subscription in Confirm Subscriptions page.
Additional info:
It works fine in en_US locale.
So, we seem to have tracked down the cause for this. The
rhn_review_gui screen and the rshm_confirm_subs screen
have the same translated name in japanese. Which
confuses 6.3 firstboot.
For the ja_JP cases what seems to happen bahiour wise
is the data on the confirm screen is never shown. Normally
this would show you what service level you are using, and
the susbcription chosen to fullfil it. Because of the duplicate
labels, the wrong module is updating it gui, so that info
never get's display on our screen. If you select "forward"
it seems like the right thing is happening (the system get
susbcribe to whatever should have been shown in that
screen) but because of the module reference confusion, the
rhn_finish_screen is shown with an warning. That warning
is incorrect because the correct thing did happen, and you
end up properly auto subscribed.
So far, it only seems to affect ja_JP, though in theory,
it could affect any locale that has duplicate translated
names for the modules. That does not seem to be the case
for other modules however.
I suggest changing the title of rhsm_confirm_subs screen to something like:
Confirm Your Subscriptions
Is this Ok with everyone? Can anyone confirm that this would be translated differently in Japanese?
This was actually fixed by adding a space to the end of the "Confirm Subscriptions" translation in the ja.po, instead of the approach mentioned in comment 12.
While less optimal, this was fix was less intrusive when looking at porting to 6.3 z-stream as it would not dissrupt the working translations.
